TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Chiang Mai: The fragrant ‘Rose of the North’ was capital of the Lanna Kingdom founded by Mangrai the Great in the 13th century.
Sukhothai: Explore the well-preserved ruins of the former capital of the Sukhothai Kingdom.
Ayutthaya: Discover the impressive ruins of what was one of the world’s biggest cities during the early modern period.
Kanchanaburi: Visit the notorious ‘Death Railway Bridge’ that inspired the World War II novel and film, The Bridge on the River Kwai.
Damnoen Saduak: Immerse yourself in the scents and sounds of Thailand in the colourful floating market – one of the most enchanting images of the country.
Siem Reap: A vibrant and cheerful city that welcomes travellers like old Friends. A few days in this Cambodian city shows that it straddles the best of both worlds: a glorious past and a vivid present. The best way to get to know it is to explore it slowly, one legend at a time.
